Bushells Antiques has dated this Silver Plated Serving Tray to the Edwardian era.
Its design embodies the elegance of the Empire style, referencing the historic Château de la Malmaison through its distinctive acanthus leaf patterns adorning the handles and rim, and a refined frieze detailing the inner oval. This piece exemplifies the classic craftsmanship of Christofle, a French silversmith house celebrated for its luxurious silver-plated and sterling silver creations.
Highly detailed, chased designs depicting winged celestial figures, likely Kinnaris, a common motif in Burmese art and mythology, often found on traditional silver offering bowls. These figures, portrayed in a seated or lounging posture, are intricately rendered with flowing hair and prominent wings, set against a textured, stippled background. The overall style suggests a fine example of traditional repoussé and chasing techniques typical of Burmese silverwork.
